MILE 2 - A gorgeous morning for a 34th marathon...
MILE 3 - As beautiful as these pictures are they do not even come close to capturing what I am seeing right now!...
MILE 4 - I am amazed at the body's ability to recover. I could barely walk on my right ankle after yesterday's marathon. Yet today it feels perfectly fine!...
MILE 5 - Especially considering that thirteen hours is all that separates the completion of yesterday's marathon and the start of today's!...
MILE 6 - Losing myself to the music (with the help of Eminem)...
MILE 7 - Finding a nice and easy pace and floating along loving life!...
MILE 8 - Knowing that I will be working from 2 to 10 today kinda forces me to enjoy the morning run a little more!...
MILE 9 - Many years ago I was a professional firefighter. I worked 24 hour shifts. Work a day, off a day, off four days after every five day cycle...
MILE 10 - Remembering that schedule, I found my solution to balancing family life, running a marathon everyday, and work. I just duplicated the schedule from the fire department and am happy to say that after almost burning out, I have found that balance!...
MILE 11 - That doesn't mean it is always easy, but it works!...
MILE 12 - Loving the fact that there is no wind today...
MILE 13 - With the temp at 32 degrees this morning, I way overdressed! I would rather be a little warm than cold though!...
MILE 14 - Plenty of sunshine today, good for the disposition!...
MILE 15 - Right ankle now feeling a little tender, but nothing compared to yesterday!...
MILE 16 - The thing about pain management is that what ever we focus on magnifies...
MILE 17 - What ever we focus on is our reality, all else is deleted. This can be good and bad, but when it comes to pain I try to respect it, then let it go...
MILE 18 - With all of that being said I am going to focus on listening to all the birds chirping away this morning!...
MILE 19 - Went back to refueling with Gatorade and Clif Bars to supplement the raw almonds I use to fuel these marathons...
MILE 20 - I recently picked up a belt with water bottles and finding it much easier to stay hydrated...
MILE 21 - Looking forward to being done before one, even if I am going to work at two!...
MILES 22 & 23 - Blessed with a pacer when I need him the most!...
MILE 24 - Floating along comfortably now...
MILE 25 ,26, & 27 - Almost there!...
FINISH - MAP & STATS
